Jules Breton, Pardon at Kergoat, 1891

Oil on canvas

94-4-1

Acquired in 1994 from the Gilmour Academy de Gates Mills with the help of the French state, the Region of Brittany (FRAM) and a public subscription.

H. 123,6 cm - L. 234 cm

The pardon at the Chapel of Kergoat in Quéméneven was one of the most popular pardons because of the virtues of the waters from the nearby fountain. People came from all over Cornouaille, as shown by the presence of people from the Bigouden area.  The artist, overawed by the number of beggars and the fervour of the pilgrims, conveys the movement of this procession as it goes around the monumental chapel.
